He seemed like such a lock. From his affable persona in the locker room to his now-curious inclusion on CSN’s annual Meet The Flyers program, everybody thought Bill Guerin would be a Flyer when they started the season against his old team, the Penguins, on Thursday. But it didn’t happen. According to CSN Philly, Guerin…
PHILADELPHIA — So, let’s talk Simon Gagne. We all knew it was going to be an emotional night for both the fans and for Gags. We all knew there was going to be a video tribute to him at some point. Many people thought it was going to be a pre-game video honoring number 12’s…
The general consensus thus far seems to suggest that Michael Leighton‘s back injury isn’t all that bad. The Flyers say they’re “cautiously optimistic” and that taking him out just prior to Friday night’s shootout was just a precaution. And since Leighton didn’t head back to the locker room during that shootout, instead sticking around on…
I noticed a FanShot earlier today on the site asking if NHL GameCenter Live was worth it. When you compare the $149.99 price with the alternative in NHL Center Ice, which puts you out about 172 bucks at last check, I’d say it’s a far superior product. Not only can you watch four games at…
A lot of things happened to Sergei Bobrovsky in the past year. The Flyers found the Metallurg Novokuznetsk goaltender because of scout Ken Khudyakov, who was actually working for another KHL team, Sibir Novosibirsk. The Flyers representatives met with Bobrovsky and his agent Vyacheslav Mahrenski in the spring, and soon after in early May, Bobrovsky…
Brian Boucher has been hearing his nickname for 10 years now. It rains down upon him from the rafters of the Wells Fargo Center… or the Wachovia Center… or the First Union Center… or the Spectrum. Or any of the other Flyers home arenas, like the Prudential Center, for example. While we can all agree…
[Boxscore] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Quote Sheet] – [Calgary Reaction] [Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] PHILADELPHIA — Let’s get one thing straight. The Flyers did not deserve to win a hockey game today. Against most teams in the NHL, they probably wouldn’t have even…
It’s a busy news day today, to say the least. In addition to putting Johan Backlund on waivers and releasing Bill Guerin, the Flyers have cut seven players, sending them directly to the Adirondack Phantoms. According to reports from beat writers on Twitter during a conference call with Paul Holmgren this afternoon, forwards Mike Testwuide,…
Preseason begins tomorrow night and we have the luxury of being able to see many Flyers games on real, live television. Below, a list of games on TV, both for local fans and the tragically displaced. Tuesday, 9/21 vs Devils – LIVE on The Comcast Network (LIVE on NHL Network US outside of the area)…
At 3 PM Eastern today, rosters have to be set at 23 players. The Flyers, with Ian Laperriere and Michael Leighton still on the roster, sit with 25 players. The reports from camp today say that Lappy has been placed on the normal injured reserve, which leaves his cap hit in play but takes him…
